Service Animal As Defined by Title II and Title III of the ADA

Service animal means any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit
of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other
mental disability. Tasks performed can include pulling a wheelchair, retrieving dropped items, or
pressing an elevator button. Emotional support, comfort animals, and therapy dogs are not service
animals under Title II and Title III of the ADA. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic,
trained or untrained, are not service animals for the purposes of this definition. The work or tasks
performed by a service animal must be directly related to the handler’s disability. It does not matter
if a person has a note from a doctor that states that the person has a disability and needs to have
the animal for emotional support. A doctor’s letter does not turn an animal into a service animal.
Examples of a service animal:
Guide Dog or Seeing Eye®1 Dog is a carefully trained dog that serves as a travel tool for people
with severe visual impairments or who are blind.
January 2014
Hearing or Signal Dog is a dog that has been trained to alert a person with a significant hearing loss
or who is deaf when a sound, e.g., knock on the door, occurs.

Psychiatric Service Dog can be trained to perform a variety of tasks that assist individuals with disabilities to detect the onset of psychiatric episodes and lessen their effects. Tasks performed by
psychiatric service animals may include reminding the handler to take medicine; providing safety
checks, or room searches, or turning on lights for persons with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; interrupting self-mutilation by persons with dissociative identity disorders; and keeping disoriented
individuals from danger.
SSigDOG (sensory signal dogs or social signal dog) is a dog trained to assist a person with autism.
The dog alerts the handler to distracting repetitive movements common among those with autism,
allowing the person to stop the movement (e.g., hand flapping).
Seizure Response Dog is a dog trained to assist a person with a seizure disorder. How the dog
serves the person depends on the person’s needs. The dog may stand guard over the person during a seizure or the dog may go for help. A few dogs have learned to predict a seizure and warn the
person in advance to sit down or move to a safe place.
Service animals are limited to dogs; however, entities must make reasonable modifications in policies to allow individuals with disabilities to use miniature horses if they have been individually
trained to do work or perform tasks for individuals with disabilities.

THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
By Tom Schenck, LPC
Many members of the Adjustment to disAbility Group have been asking about the Affordable Care Act, sometimes
referred to as Obamacare. There is a lot of confusion with this new healthcare law, Medicaid, and Medicare.
If you currently HAVE medical insurance then you do not need to be concerned with how the law affects you. You do
not need to change your private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare.
If you DO NOT HAVE insurance, you are required to have insurance by March of 2014. Many of us with a disability
have difficulty getting insurance because of pre-existing medical conditions. Family members recovering from medical
problems also have difficulty getting medical insurance. This will no longer be the case under the Affordable Care Act.
You can no longer be denied insurance or be charged a higher premium because of a pre-existing condition.
Many of us have very limited incomes due to our medical conditions affecting our stamina and our ability to work long
hours. This will qualify many Americas to receive a subsidized premium from the government. A single person making
$31,000 a year or less qualifies for a government subsidy that pays all or a portion of the insurance premium. The
more members in a family, the more the premium is subsidized. These are rough estimates so please go to the marketplace website or agency listed below to get accurate information.
To find out if you qualify for Affordable Care Act insurance and subsidized premiums go to the Internet site
"healthcare.gov" and answer a few questions and then your premium choices will be outlined for you to choose from.
You can get help with figuring out the insurance premium from a trained negotiator whose job it is to assist interested
consumers with figuring all this out. Contact United Way of Tarrant County and you will be directed to a person who
can assist you. By the way, United Way of Tarrant County received the largest federal grant to provide assistance to
people interested in learning more about and/or signing up for insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
I do not qualify for insurance under the Affordable Care Act because I receive Medicare. But my wife who is a breast
cancer survivor will benefit greatly from the new healthcare insurance. She will save at least $400.00 a month or
$4,800.00 a year because her insurance company can no longer charge a higher rate because of her pre-existing
cancer condition.
Disability has nothing to do with the Affordable Care Act. If you currently have no health insurance, the law requires
you to have insurance by March of 2014. The earliest you can be covered is January 1, 2014, but you have to be enrolled by December 2013. If you have insurance, check out the new healthcare premiums for better coverage and
lower premiums.

AbleRoad Launched
AbleRoad, a website and mobile app for finding and rating accessible places; i.e., restaurants,
shops, hotels, medical practices and many other venues, was initiated earlier this year. A useful mobile service for people with disabilities and their friends, family members, and caregivers, the app is
free of charge.
AbleRoad can be accessed at the website or by using the iPhone and iPad apps. An Android App is also available. Go to:
AbleRoad.com or download the app on iTunes. A two-minute video tutorial is on Facebook that shows how to use the app
and website. By reading and posting reviews, users can promote businesses and venues that are fully accessible and challenge those that are not, to get into compliance.

FYI
At the end of fiscal year 2013, the Denton and Dallas centers were able to purchase some new equipment for their loaner assistive technology/equipment programs. Denton added desktop video magnifiers, portable video HD magnifiers, and LED illuminated magnifiers at three different magnification strengths. Dallas added lightweight transport wheelchairs and a portable video
HD magnifier.
All four REACH centers have manual wheelchairs available for loan.
All of the assistive technology/equipment at the centers is available for REACH consumers to borrow on a first requested, first
served basis.

JUST A REMINDER
REACH generates additional funds to enhance its mission by participating in the Tom
Thumb, Kroger, and Albertsons grocery store donor programs. Each grocery store
chain allows its customers to register so that donations go to a nonprofit organization
that the customer supports. Then every time a purchase is made, the nonprofit
receives credit for the total amount of the purchase. On a quarterly or yearly basis,
depending upon the grocery store chain, the chain’s home office issues a donation
check totaling 1% of all of the purchases credited to the customer’s chosen nonprofit’s
account.
If you and/or your family and friends shop at any or all of these
grocery stores and would like to make sure that REACH is able to
continue providing services to North Texans with disabilities, please
call any of the REACH offices for more information on how to get
involved in these programs.

REACH FYI ON THE MOVE
By Mel Finefrock & Paula Margeson
This summer was an awesome one for the students in REACH FYI! Here is what we've been up to
throughout the last quarter.
REACH held independent living academies at Naaman Forest High School, Bryan Adams High School,
and Duncanville High School, all of which kindly donated space for our educational and recreational endeavors.
We got a taste of what it's like to work in the kitchen, learned about caring for our pets, and discussed topics such
as good communication and self-advocacy, teamwork and interdependence, the power of positive thinking, and
how to deal with failure so that we can succeed. Another really important thing we talked about was finding our
“spark”, or our passion, in life, because discovering what we love and are good at can help us to plan our career
paths. Before and after each lesson, we listened to songs that were related to the subject matter. It was really
neat to hear about communication, togetherness, positive thinking, not giving up, and finding our spark in lyrics
that we hear every day! We also participated in fun, recreational activities such as swimming, watching a performance by the amazing Mr. Magic, and getting to have a movie day. The academies are always really great because
we get to learn about real-life issues while still having fun. Who can say that they've had fun in summer school?
In August, RISE Adaptive Sports generously hosted our fourth annual REACH-RISE Water Sports Picnic.
Twenty-one students and their families showed up at Meadowmere Park in Grapevine, and a wonderful time was
had by all. The weather was perfect for a day on the lake. We swam, went sailing, cruised on a motorboat, rode
on jet skis and floated on inner tubes, and had a delicious barbecue lunch. There were plenty of RISE volunteers
to help us out and have fun with us, and we really appreciated it! We always look forward to spending time with
our friends at RISE!
In September, we went to the Dallas Arboretum to explore the new interactive children’s garden. A lot had
changed since our trip there in 2009. There were really neat educational exhibits for us to check out, such as a
giant kaleidoscope with amethyst geodes on the back, a tornado machine that we could stand in so that we could
feel the breeze without being blown away, and an enormous, hollowed-out tree that some of us could walk
through via a winding staircase. We smelled lots of pretty flowers and saw lots of really neat, interactive learning
tools that told us about nutritional values in fruits and vegetables. Then it started to storm, so we took shelter in a
building that had all sorts of fun things for us to do. There was a wall-mounted touch screen tablet that took us on
a tour of all of the planets and constellations, as well as another similar desk tablet on which we could paint and
draw or play math, anatomy, or animal games. We also had check-in and told each other what we did over the
summer, and then Miss Paula taught us how to play a new game called Pig where you roll a die and rack up the
points until you roll a one and lose everything. It was really fun, and the game got really competitive! We loved our
trip to the Arboretum; we can always have fun, whether we're out in the sunshine or inside from the rain!
We're hearing rumors about one of our infamous Halloween parties and a possible formal coming up in
the near future. REACH FYI is always on the move, so stay tuned for more adventures!

You are invited!
Adults in the Dallas area, who are blind or partially
sighted, and family members impacted by blindness, are
invited to attend the All Eyes support group on December
5, 2013. If you have been diagnosed with an eye condition, been in an accident, or have a disease that has led
to the loss of all or most of your sight, or if you are the
family member of someone who has, joining a support group may be the most important thing
you will ever do. These monthly meetings offer an opportunity to talk to others, share common
concerns, frustrations, and stories, and find solutions to vision-related difficulties. You will meet
and make friends with people who understand the issues you face and know exactly what you
are going through.
When attending an All Eyes group meeting, you may often find yourself laughing. In addition to
monthly support group meetings, the group has birthday and holiday parties, game nights, and
get-togethers at local restaurants. While the participants all know that being blind isn't easy, we
promote a positive approach and believe that we still can work, have fun, make friends and live
valuable and productive lives.
The All Eyes group meets at 10:00 AM on the first Thursday of every month to network and
share information on topics relating to vision loss. The meetings are held at the REACH of Dallas Resource Center on Independent Living, 8625 King George Dr., Suite 210, Dallas, 75235.
Anyone who is dealing with issues related to blindness is welcome to attend.
For more information, call Big C at 972-288-2025.
